    Roma players experienced lows and highs that contrasted more than virtually ever before in 2024-25, a season the club ended on the up. Roma found themselves anywhere between 17th and 5th in the Serie A table throughout the season, at times close enough to the relegation zone to feel like they were genuinely in trouble, at others close enough to the Champions League places to believe in an impossible dream.

    Gian Piero Gasperini is stepping into new surroundings by taking the Roma job after nine years at Atalanta, but he will still find some familiar faces at Trigoria.

Liverpool are awaiting a response from Bayer Leverkusen about their latest bid for Wirtz.

    Liverpool forward Luis Diaz has been made a top target for a club who already boast one of his former Anfield teammates in their squad, according to both the British press and Fabrizio Romano. Diaz has two years remaining on his contract at Liverpool, which is still on the same terms he agreed when he joined from Porto in January 2022 for £37.5m. Since then, he has scored 41 goals from 148 games for the club. He may feel he deserves a better deal, but his future has been brought into question.

Remarkably, the race for a top four finish is now in Roma’s hands. Juventus and Lazio, after their draw, can each finish on a maximum of 70 points. If Roma win their three remaining games, which isn’t straightforward, they would finish on 72 points.
